Boxing Day dining with a view
Far from Brighton’s busy beachfront, our sea-view restaurant offers a slower, more serene way to spend the 26th.
Settle in with winter sharing boards, oozy baked camembert, rosemary roasties and seasonal cocktails from the Discovery Bar. Raise a glass of Sussex fizz or warm up with a Goldstone Rum. Every bite is a moment to savour.
Prefer a long, lazy lunch? You’ll find no rush here. Just relaxed conversation, delicious food and a view you won’t want to leave.

Our two and three night Christmas packages include boutique rooms, festive dining and space to slow down. That’s soft blankets, roll-top baths, and indulgent lie-ins with the waves rolling in outside.
Whether you’re toasting with loved ones or soaking up the stillness of the season, booking a room at The White Horses is your perfect base for Boxing Day and beyond.
